Note: While this is based on a Windstar, every Ford neutral safety switch I have replaced has been exactly the same as this - Taurus, Sable, 1969 Mustang (my favorite), etc.

Answer
On my 2002 Ford Windstar, it sits on top of the transmission.
I have replaced mine twice due to a bad cruise control switch. This is the same cruise control switch that Ford has recalled other models due to fire danger. If it goes bad, it allows brake fluid to leak onto your neutral safety switch and shorts it out.
I took my Windstar to the shop with transmission problems, then back again the next day for what was diagnosed as the neutral safety switch. When they went to change it, they observed that it was covered with brake fluid and the bad cruise control switch.
Whether your cruise control switch is bad or good, please have it disabled and repaired to protect your self from the risk of fire. Google "Ford Windstar Cruise Control Switch" to get more information on this recall and the other Ford models such as our Windstars that have this exact same faulty switch.
Good luck with that neutral safety switch. I'm on my 3rd one this week! They're cheap, easy to replace, but VERY, VERY easy to mess up and have to be positioned just so. Mine obviously is not "just so" it won't shift from first to second on a cold start and acts like I'm revving it in Park or Neutral.
Should be on top of the transaxle under the air box transfer tube
AnswerIt doesn't have a separate neutral safety switch (NSS). The NSS functions are built into the TR (Transmission Range) sensor. It is a black sensor that has a multi-pin connector located where the shift cable attaches to the top of the transmission.

it is in the exhaust pipe. The neutral safety switch stops you from starting a car unless it is in neutral or park so can not be located in the exhaust pipe. You maybe thinking of the oxygen sensor...
